Trilogy in Theory

Our most dedicated listeners may find this very podcast to be an infinite playlist of two men with undeniable sexual chemistry... so why not give them more of the same? Except we switch out our hosts for perhaps the more appealing Kat Dennings and Michael Cera in 2008's NICK & NORAH'S INFINITE PLAYLIST.

This particular mixtape has less emo, more Wu-Tang Clan, THE One Direction and a debate over the appropriate amount of support from Ari Graynor.

2007 was a far gentler time when it came to disagreements. J.K. Simmons DID NOT throw a cymbal at your head for revealing your teen pregnancy. Ellen Page insulting your favorite band was not the most insulting thing in the world (or in that particularly awkward conversation, Jason Bateman). And the great Michael Cera could trust his heart with the full confidence that the greatest of all movie channels STARZ would provide ample evidence of amorous affection. This is our episode on JUNO. Enjoy.

We open with Hemingway and it's all downhill from there as we lament the lack of travel in 2020 and bemoan the inability for our three male leads in BEFORE SUNSET, INCEPTION and MIDNIGHT IN PARIS to ever achieve satisfaction.

Which puts us closer to being in the same category as Leonardo DiCaprio and Ethan Hawke as we'll ever be.

Okay, so maybe we settle for just being in Owen Wilson's company. We hope you've settled for being in our company as we dreamt of Paris this month and give a hint at what's to come next month with our TRILOGY IN THEORY.

Though we may never fit into the Parisian lifestyle, at least in Woody Allen's MIDNIGHT IN PARIS we find a kindred spirit in Owen Wilson's bumbling DORK.

Granted a bumbling dork who is engaged to Rachel McAdams and begins an affair across time with Marion Cotillard. But basically the same guy as your favorite hosts on TRILOGY IN THEORY!

We continue our podcast tour of Paris (which is to say, not really) with great philosophical debate over the nature of dreams (also, not really) as one host finds Christopher Nolan's INCEPTION strangely intimate and the other is four levels deep into the process of filmmaking. By the end of it, no conclusions can be drawn other than we sound like two guys who have no business being in Paris.

Or your ears.

But here we are!

The dream of TRILOGY IN THEORY started with a conversation on THE BEFORE TRILOGY... which means of course that one host will question the need of Richard Linklater to the whole venture while the other host reveals his true passion for these characters comes back to a rather attractive high school classmate. A finer pair of serious-minded cinephiles you will not find as we discuss BEFORE SUNSET for our second TRILOGY IN THEORY!

One host looks into the symbol of the rabbit in mythology but can't market our first selected trilogy worth a damn. Meanwhile your other host gets into the weeds of time travel (thanks Richard Kelly!) and accepts the things he will never fully understand... which could very well be our selected trilogy of HARVEY, DONNIE DARKO and JOJO RABBIT.

A scrappy Nazi youth and his even more precocious imaginary friend Hitler made for unfortunately timely movie watching in 2019 as we wrap up our selections for our rabbit trilogy with the title character JOJO RABBIT. Thankfully there is a little dancing and a little Sam Rockwell (and your favorite podcast hosts!) to make it somewhat palatable.

In which you find your hosts befuddled by the youth of both the 80s setting of Richard Kelly's DONNIE DARKO... but also by themselves in 2001 when this film was originally released. One host wonders if he missed out on the fun for this cult classic while the other doesn't feel hip for being there... just really, really old.

In our first proper episode of TRILOGY IN THEORY you will quickly succumb to the charms of James Stewart in the classic 1950 film HARVEY... and also quickly surmise that your hosts Mike and Web are enablers of this great Hollywood star. Our only issue really is with the supposed height of this friend named Harvey...
